Hey. You. Yes, You. Buy my book.
Ever wonder how somebody breaks into the porn industry? Or what the people who work in and around adult entertainment think of their industry? How about the process of casting a skin flick? The race, gender, and other politics inside Hollywood’s grubby cousin? Have you pondered how I, myself, got involved in writing about sex…

Au Revoir, 2017! It’s Been Intense.
It’s been a hell of a year. For everyone. The kind of year that you look back at and feel truly, deeply thankful for what you still have. Together we’ve seen our political system taken over by buffoonery and mean spirits. As a country, we’ve lost forward momentum on civil rights, health care, environmental issues,…

Very Personal Pet Names
At some point during the past year, I started to use a pet name for my junk. And my partner’s junk, too. I don’t mean occasionally, when I’m in a light-hearted mood, or even just in public so nobody knows I’m talking about genitals. I mean all the time. I don’t really know how this…

Professional Naked Girl-ism
A really, really interesting article in Vice magazine about being a Professional Naked Girl by the esteemed Molly Crabapple. I did this kind of work for a while, myself, but have never found the right place to write about it from. This might be wonderful inspiration for me, and many others who did this kind…

Ohmigosh Comments Sections Aren’t All Horrible!
Sooooo I wrote this article for xoJane and it published on Friday. It’s incredibly personal. I’m terrified of anyone I actually know reading it. It’s about how my work in the porn industry helped me discover myself sexually. And it’s a short article (for me, anyway)–I had to cut it down to about 1600 words…
